XP Media Center

Could someone explain a XP start-up issue...
 
my PC automatically loads Media Center - how can I adjust it so only the desktop loads.
 
I like to go to either Outlook or Explorer first & would prefer to avoid the few minutes it takes Media Center to boot.
 
thanks - Gary

    Hi:

    When Media Center loads, point with your mouse to the "Settings" option, then click on the "General" (Gear-shaped) icon, and then on "Startup and Windows Behavior".

    Make sure that the box next to "Start Media Center when Windows starts" is unchecked.
